Solange, my Southwest Queen is finally home. Our BAD group on Yahoo had a Seasonal Round Robin and I designed this form for that challenge and asked for Summer and a Southwest theme. Actual doll sewn by Ronda Kivett.

This was the last doll that Ed saw me working on before it started on its way around the U.S.A, so it means the world to me. He so would have loved to see her come home, she is just so, so, beautiful.

She sits on my entry way table for all to see, she sure is a beauty.

Thank you to the girls who worked on her from the bottom of my heart. Ann Hoke Oregon, Gail Isbell, Mt., Rosalie Harrison, Arkansas, Jena Tuntas, Florida, Kathleen Chrisman, Va., Karol Berzins, Ma. The workmanship is more that fantastic.

About Me

My whole life is about fiber and beads. My Mom used to sew for hours making all mine and my sisters clothes. My Aunt used to knit for hours and when I was 8 years old she taught me to knit and I havent stopped yet!
It wasnt until our retirement in 2002 to Prescott, Arizona, did I fall deeply in LOVE with beading and now design with seed beads and other objects such as skulls, driftwood, art dolls and anything found in nature, my favorite is Free Form Beading of any kind.
My loves are my Grandchildren and reading is a big part of my life too. I read most night at least two hours, love off road riding with our son in the Mountains here in Prescott, the quiet of the forest is just wonderful, music, the internet, charity work, friends on many yahoo groups and being with friends here and family. And who is my BEST FRIEND, my husband of course, best thing that could happen to a girl. He always pushes me to create. A day without creating is just not right!
